WHEN TAXIDERMY BREAKS BAD
 
I heard this story being read on the radio by an American lady, very droll
"But if you're really interested," the clerk I spoke to said, "I've got a little something you might want to see." He stepped into the back room and returned with what I could only identify as a creature. "What we've done," he boasted, "is stretch a chicken over an owl form."

"That's really… something," I said, groping for a compliment. The truth was that even a child would have seen this for what it was. The beak made from what looked to be a bear claw, the feet with their worn-down, pedestrian talons: I mean, please! This was what a chicken might wear to a Halloween party if she had 10 minutes to throw a costume together. "Let me think about it," I said.
Droll indeed.
 
Reddit has an entire subforum for bad taxidermy. I can't link to the site, but just get the main URL and tack on /r/badtaxidermy to the end.
